At that point, isn't it really just held up by the pulleys?

The pulleys are held up by the roof!

Sure. and the roof is held up by the walls, which are held up by the floor - so really, when you get right down to it, this table is resting on the floor just like any other table.

And what is the floor but a glorified planet surface? So now we're back to just floating in the middle of space like whoa.
